OK. In my defense, I think I can say this. I am not suppressing anything down. I am not hiding some sort of concealed secrecy. I spoke in honesty. I am honestly trying to be celibate and also celibate for Jesus. On top of that, I never said that sexuality was some sort of wicked thing. I never said that. It's a great gift for plenty of people. However, I am saying in my case, it may not actually be for me at all. I am honestly saying that it may not happen for me, especially if I don't get married. If that were to never happen and if if I were to be celibate for the rest of my life, then guess what? I would be satisfied with that.
Who knows if this "backfires" on me? You may be right. I don't know if it will or won't. I am just saying that for Christ's sake I want to stay celibate and am going to live this. And with plenty of joy. We'll see.
The Catholic Church is looking for a few good men. They need men for whom the celibacy thing is no big deal. Guys like you, and they are willing to pay you for your Sacrifice of the joys of the flesh for Christ's sake. The Seminary education alone is worth a couple hundred grand. On the House. Free! I've never understood why raging jocks, full of testosterone and manly charm put themselves through the agony of denial and answer The Call, only to fail, miserably and spectacularly, and disgrace themselves, their families and the faith community, when those for whom the whole sex thing is but a minor annoyance become Software Engineers. Just saying.
Nah, it happens. For example, on Undercover Boss tonight, the boss asked the worker to tell him more about himself and specifically asked if he was married. So in that situation I would say "no, girls aren't into me". So it might come up that way. It's not like I'm embarrassed. It's depressing but not embarrassing.
Being a virgin isn't a bad thing, but bringing it up is just going to make it awkward. Women don't like awkward. You don't have to lie, but for God's sake dont just bring it up.
There kinda is. I mean... being a virgin is one thing. Wanting to remain one is quite another. Is it really shallow of a woman to expect that a guy in his 20's will have gotten over that particular life hurdle?
It's none of their business. Don't like it? Find someone else.

There is no valid reason why there should be.
The point is....it shouldn't matter. If that is not your preference, fine. But it's not cool to ridicule or say it's wrong to be one.
Nothing good ever comes from that. Don't worry about it.

As much as being a virgin at 24 or later is odd to me, in all fairness, it depends on each person and what is right for one person might not be right for another.

That's about at honest as I can make it.....
What's odd about it? I think it's odd that pop culture has warped societies minds into thinking you have to lose your virginity at 15 or have multiple partners every week. Seriously, if someone chooses to be a virgin so what? It's their damn choice and it's their life. I never understood why people (specifically other guys) made a big deal about this.
That being said I don't think it's weird at all. Don't let anyone pressure you into doing something because They think it's abnormal. F*** them and do what you want... but you seem to have that down already.

But I am awkward. That's part of who I am.
And if they don't want to hear that I'm a virgin then I can't be with them. We have to be able to talk about our pasts and who we are.
Besides, it mainly comes up in conversation with men. Rarely have I had a conversation in real life with a woman where my virginity would come up. It has happened though.

It's odd... unless you're saving yourself for marriage... don't try and preach to me... I'm sure I'm much older than you and have thought every thought you've ever thought on this subject.... I clearly said in my post that it's ok..... so drop the moral high ground......
That's right, when you think about it it's kinda gross, contemplating how someone else had sex.
Bizarre.
You mean didn't have sex, right? I can't see how that's gross... contemplating someone not having sex... no... wait a minute.. you are dead on! That is gross... poor virgins...
